Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈의 첫인상은 1st 필 셰리가 남긴 건포도와 호두, 옅은 바다 소금기로 열린다. 1987년 증류된 부나하벤 27년으로, 아일라에 속하면서도 피트를 거의 쓰지 않는 증류소답게 셰리의 단맛과 해안의 미네랄이 또렷하게 균형을 이룬다. 팰럿은 49.1도에서 구운 견과와 다크초콜릿, 마른 오렌지 껍질로 발전하며 오랜 숙성이 만든 깊이가 단단하다. 피니시는 셰리의 떫은맛과 짭조름한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
ah, it’s a fresh one, more on fruits than on chocolate or nuts, with a solid earthy and beachy base, and only a mild honeyed background. That means than it’s rather fresher and cleaner than the ‘average’ old Bunnahabhain. What I particularly enjoy is this chartreuse-y side that arises after a while, these notes of verbena, vetiver, mustard, cherry stems… It’s a very complex one
restaurant Palate
excellent, fruits, apples, kiwis, drops of pisco, Muscat, gooseberries… It’s all very fresh, and I especially like these touches of fresh walnuts. After ten minutes, oranges rule the whole thing. Orange squash, tangerines, a wee saltiness, brine… I find it Dagueneau-esque. Wine freaks will understand what I mean
timer Finish
not too long, but exceptionally clean, fruity, zesty… And the aftertaste is a bit smoky. Smoky green bananas?
